 * **Please share minutes from your discussion. Be sure to include feedback on the levels of bloom’s being utilized in your classes/assessments each day.** ||  || We were concerned about the chemistry unit test and how students performed poorly overall. There seemed to be a lack of effort. We discussed remediatieon for the weakest standards and concepts. Specifically students struggled with law of conservation of matter and acids and bases. We are brain storming ways to remediate those concepts. We also discussed how rebound is not being utilized by the general level students (in general). General students particularlly struggled with the higher level questions that required them to apply and analyze.
